Support Your Investment. Built to Last.
A strong renovation or new build starts with a foundation you can trust. At Techserveus, we specialize in precise, durable, and code-compliant foundations and footings that form the critical structural base of your project. We combine engineering precision with skilled craftsmanship to ensure every footing, slab, and structural base is built to withstand soil conditions, load requirements, frost depths, and long-term environmental stress.
Common Foundation Types
Slab-on-Grade Foundations
A reinforced concrete slab poured directly at ground level.
Best for: Tiny homes, garden suites, and structures requiring quick installation and excellent energy efficiency.
​
Poured Concrete Footings & Walls
Traditional footings with perimeter foundation walls.
Best for: Home additions, ADUs, and projects needing crawl spaces or under-floor utilities.
​
Pier or Post Foundations
Concrete piers set deep into the ground with beams supporting the structure above.
Best for: Lightweight structures, uneven terrain, or areas with challenging soil conditions.
​
Frost-Protected Shallow Foundations
Shallow footings combined with rigid insulation to protect from frost movement.
Best for: Secondary units where traditional deep footings are too costly or unnecessary.
​
Reinforced Concrete Pads
Thick, concentrated pads used to support point loads, columns, or equipment.
Best for: Structural beams, heavy posts, or modular/tiny home anchoring.
Hiring a Qualified Foundations & Footings Contractor Matters​​
​
Your entire project, whether it’s a new build, home addition, garden suite, laneway home, ADU, or tiny home, depends on the strength and accuracy of its foundation. Hiring a contractor with engineering expertise ensures that soil conditions, structural loads, frost depths, and reinforcement requirements are calculated precisely, preventing costly issues like settling, cracking, and moisture intrusion.
A reputable contractor also follows strict building codes, uses proper concrete mixtures and reinforcement, and provides documentation that protects you during inspections, appraisals, and resale. When you choose a team known for quality workmanship and proven results, you’re investing in long-term structural stability, safety, and peace of mind right from the ground up.
Key Considerations for Your Foundations & Footings​
​
-
Soil Conditions & Bearing Capacity: Proper soil testing ensures the ground can support structural loads without shifting or settling.
​
-
Frost Depth Requirements: In Ontario, footings must be placed below frost lines to prevent heaving and long-term foundation damage.
​
-
Drainage & Waterproofing: Correct grading, drainage systems, and moisture protection prevent water infiltration and structural deterioration.
​
-
Load Requirements & Engineering: Structural loads from walls, beams, and roof systems must be calculated precisely to determine footing size, reinforcement, and slab thickness.
​
-
Reinforcement & Structural Integrity: Rebar, mesh, and engineered concrete mixes add strength, preventing cracking and long-term movement.
​
-
Site Access & Excavation Planning: Proper equipment access and excavation planning ensure safe, efficient footing installation.
​
-
Municipal Code Compliance: Every foundation must meet Ontario Building Code standards to ensure long-term safety and durability.
Importance of Quality Concrete & Proper Pouring​
​
High-quality concrete and precise pouring techniques are essential to the strength, longevity, and safety of any foundation or footing. When the concrete mix is correctly engineered with the right water ratio, aggregate blend, and compression strength, it creates a dense, durable base that resists cracking, moisture penetration, and structural movement over time.
Just as important is the pouring process itself: proper placement, vibration, leveling, and curing ensure the concrete bonds correctly and reaches full strength without air pockets or weak points. With Techserveus, your foundation is poured using industry leading standards, professional equipment, and strict quality control giving your project the solid, stable start it deserves.
Our Process for Foundations & Footings
Engineering Assessment & Site Preparation
Every project begins with a thorough engineering review to evaluate soil conditions, bearing capacity, drainage needs, frost depth, and structural load requirements.
Techserveus conducts detailed site measurements, ensures compliance with municipal codes, and prepares stamped engineering plans when required. Before excavation, our team carefully prepares the site—marking elevations, planning access routes, and setting up proper grading to ensure a safe, efficient start.
Precision Excavation, Forming & Reinforcement
Once the design is approved, we perform accurate excavation to the required depth, ensuring proper frost protection and stable footing beds.
Our team installs high-quality formwork and reinforcement, including rebar, mesh, and engineered supports tailored to the specific structural loads of your project. This stage is critical, and Techserveus follows strict engineering specifications to prevent future settling, movement, or structural issues.
Concrete Pour, Curing & Final Inspection
With reinforcement complete, we pour high-strength, properly mixed concrete using controlled techniques for consistent density and durability.
After curing, we remove forms, backfill as required, and conduct a full inspection to confirm accuracy and stability.Techserveus ensures your foundation or footings are level, structurally sound, and ready to support framing—providing a reliable base that meets engineering standards and sets your project up for long-term success.
